BRAND NEW from the #2 bestselling author of The Family at No. 12, Anita Waller
Synopsis:
Nobody is safe…
When the murdered body of a woman is found in a Sheffield carpark, former cop turned private investigator Matt Forrester finds himself embroiled in the case, because the last call the victim made was to him…
But the case isn’t as simple as the drug theft it looks like, and – when a young boy becomes the next victim – Matt and his life partner, DI Karen Nelson, realise they’re investigating a terrifying series of revenge killings.
Arrests start to be made, but enemies are being made. And, as the killings continue, nobody is safe…
A totally unputdownable crime novel, from bestselling author Anita Waller, guaranteed to keep readers up all night.
Review:
Karen and Matt are still adjusting to Matt being ex-service, and running his detective agency, when her latest case comes up against each other, as they both try to figure out why the victim was calling Matt, and then after he finds the next victim, who else is involved in 2 seemingly unrelated murders, that appear to be matched by drugs found under the second boy, belonging to the first. Was it a simple drug theft and deal gone bad, or is there much more to the cases than it initially seems? As Matt is cleared, he and Karen work on each finding the missing links, so they can complete the puzzle together. A valid entry for the series, new fans as well as old ones, the surprise ending will shock both types of readers alike.
About the Author:
Anita Waller was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1946. She married Dave in 1967 and they have three adult children.
With many books to her name, she feels she has finally realised her dream. She writes mainly psychological thrillers, but was commissioned in 2018 to write a cosy mystery series, the Kat and Mouse trilogy. By November 2020 this will have grown to five books, plus a spin-off standalone novel called Epitaph, featuring Doris, one of the characters from the series. This series has now led on to a spin-off series, the Connection Trilogy, with books entitled Blood Red, Code Blue and Mortal Green. All these books, which will number twenty by the time Mortal Green is available, have been published by Bloodhound Books.
In 2021 Waller signed a five book deal with Boldwood Books, and currently has six published books with them: One Hot Summer, The Family at No.12, Fatal Secrets (the first in a new series set in Sheffield), The Couple Across the Street, Fatal Lies, the second in the Forrester series and The Girls Next Door. The Family at No.12 reached #2 in the Amazon Kindle charts. This is the sixth book.
She is now in her late-seventies with a new Boldwood contract, happily writing most days and would dearly love to plan a novel, but has accepted that isn’t the way of her mind. Every novel starts with a sentence and she waits to see where that sentence and her characters will take her. If writer's block intrudes, be sure there will be a death.
In her life away from the computer in the corner of her kitchen, she is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter with blue blood in her vein
